Classic Arts Showcase is a free cable television program designed to bring the classic arts experience to the largest audience possible by providing video clips of the arts in hopes that we may tempt you, the viewer, to go out and feast from the buffet of arts available in your community.

It is carried by Dish for several years and costs the provider absolutely nothing. it is SD so very little bandwidth used. It features classical, ballet, theartre , musical, jazz, symphonies etc.

Why doesn't DTV they carry it? it is for free and there is plenty of bandwidth for SD. Or do they want to be paid to carry it?

I watch it all the time on my PBS affiliate (channel 28 here in SoCal).

Note that Channel 28 is no longer PBS -- they're now an independent noncommercial station. That's obviously part of the reason they carry Classic Arts Showcase -- they have some time to fill on the schedule.
